Political parties
Meretz (Hebrew: מֶרֶצ, lit. Energy) is a left-wing, Zionist, social-democratic political party in Israel.[3][4] The party was originally formed in 1992 with the union of Ratz, Mapam, and Shinui and was at its peak in the 13th Knesset between 1992 and 1996, during which it held 12 seats. At the 2013 legislative elections the party won six seats.
The party emphasizes a two-state solution to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, social justice, human rights (especially for ethnic and sexual minorities), religious freedom, and environmentalism.[5]
Meretz was formed in 1992 prior to the 1992 legislative elections by an alliance of three left-wing political parties; Ratz, Mapam and Shinui, and was initially led by Ratz's chairwoman and long-time Knesset member Shulamit Aloni. The name "Meretz" (מרצ) was chosen as an acronym for Mapam (מפ"ם) and Ratz (רצ). The third party of the alliance wasn't reflected in its name, but was instead mentioned in the party's campaign slogan: "ממשלה עם מרצ, הכוח לעשות את השינוי" (A government with vigor [Meretz], the strength to make the change [Shinui]). Its first electoral test was a success, with the party winning twelve seats, making it the third largest in the Knesset. Meretz became the major coalition partner of Yitzhak Rabin's Labor Party, helping pave the way for the Oslo Accords. The party also picked up several ministerial portfolios; Aloni was made Minister of Education, though disputes over the role of religion in education meant she was moved out of the education ministry to become Minister Without Portfolio in May 1993. In June she became Minister of Communications and Minister of Science and Technology, a role that was later renamed Minister of Science and the Arts. Amnon Rubinstein became Minister of Energy and Infrastructure and Minister of Science and Technology and later Minister of Education, Culture, and Sport, whilst Yossi Sarid was named Minister of the Environment and Yair Tzaban named Minister of Immigrant Absorption.
After the 1996 elections, in which Meretz lost a quarter of its seats, Aloni lost internal leadership elections to Yossi Sarid and retired. In 1997 the three parties officially merged into a single entity, though part of Shinui (under the leadership of Avraham Poraz) broke away to form a separate movement. Later in the Knesset session David Zucker also left the party to sit as an independent MK.
The 1999 elections saw the party regain some of its former strength, picking up 10 seats, including the first ever female Israeli Arab MK, Hussniya Jabara. Meretz were invited into Ehud Barak's coalition, with Sarid becoming Education Minister, Ran Cohen Minister of Industry and Trade, and Haim Oron Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development. However, after Likud leader Ariel Sharon beat Barak in a special Prime Ministerial election in 2001, Meretz left the government.
On 22 October 2002 Meretz MK Uzi Even made history by becoming the first openly gay Member of Knesset, after Amnon Rubinstein retired. This created a vacancy and Even was next on the Meretz list. His term lasted less than three months, however, as the Knesset was dissolved in January 2003. Even's entry to the Knesset was met by mixed reactions from the ultra-orthodox parties; Shas's Nissim Ze'ev was the harshest, saying Even "symbolized the bestialization of humanity," adding that he should be "hidden under the carpet" and banned from entering the Knesset.[6]
For the 2003 elections, Meretz were joined by Roman Bronfman's Democratic Choice. However, the party shrank in representation again, this time to just six seats. Sarid immediately took responsibility and resigned from leadership, though he did not retire from the Knesset and continued serving as an MK, before stepping down prior to the 2006 elections.
In December 2003 Meretz was disbanded in order to merge with Yossi Beilin's non-parliamentary Shahar (Hebrew: שח"ר) movement. The original name suggested for the new party was Ya'ad (Hebrew: יעד, Goal), but was not used because it sounded like the Russian word for poison ("yad"), and it was feared that it might alienate Israel's one million Russian-speaking voters (although there had been two parties previously in Israel using the name – Ya'ad and Ya'ad – Civil Rights Movement, the latter ironically a forerunner of Meretz, they both existed before large-scale immigration from the Soviet Union). Instead, the name Yachad (Hebrew: יח"ד) was chosen. As well as meaning "Together", it is also a Hebrew acronym for Social-Democratic Israel (Hebrew: ישראל חברתית דמוקרטית, Yisrael Hevratit Demokratit).
The new party was established in order to unite and resuscitate the Israeli Zionist peace camp, which had been soundly defeated in the 2003 elections (dropping from 56 Knesset members in 1992 to 24 in 2003) following the Al-Aqsa Intifada.[citation needed] The party's purpose was to unite a variety of dovish Zionist movements with the dovish wing of the Labor Party. However, the efforts were largely unsuccessful as, except for the original Meretz, Shahar and Democratic Choice, no other movement joined the new party.[citation needed] It has suffered from declining popular interest in left-wing peace movements, as a result of the rise in Palestinian violence, and only 20,000 people are now registered members of the party, half the number who were prior to the 1999 party primaries.[citation needed]
In March 2004 Yossi Beilin was elected party leader, beating Ran Cohen, and started a two year term as the first chairman of Yachad. In July 2005 the party decided to change its name to Meretz-Yachad, because opinion polls revealed that the name Yachad was not recognisable to the Israeli public, and that they preferred the old name Meretz. The chairman Beilin opposed the motion to revert the name to Meretz and a compromise between the old and new names, Meretz-Yachad, was agreed upon.
However, in the 2006 election campaign the party dropped the Yachad part of its name, running as just Meretz, under the slogan "Meretz on the left, the Human in the centre". Nevertheless, it failed to stop the party's decline, as they won just five seats. In 2007, Tsvia Greenfeld, sixth on the party list, became the first ever female Ultra-orthodox Knesset member, following Yossi Beilin's decision to retire from politics.
In March 2008, internal elections for the chairman of the party were held. At an early stage, Yossi Beilin, Zehava Gal-On, and Ran Cohen announced their bids. After Haim Oron announced his bid in December 2007, Beilin withdrew his bid and announced his support for him. Oron went on to win the internal elections held on 18 March 2008 with 54.5% of the vote, beating Ran Cohen (27.1%) and Zehava Gal-On (18.1%) to become Meretz's new chairman.[7]
On 22 December 2008 Meretz finalized its merger with Hatnua HaHadasha ("The New Movement") for the 2009 Israeli elections.[8] The joint Meretz-Hatnua HaHadasha list ended up winning only 3 seats in the elections. This electoral loss was largely attributed to traditionally left-wing voters choosing to strategically vote for Kadima, in an effort to get Tzipi Livni to head the next government instead of Benjamin Netanyahu of Likud.[9]
Following the party's failure in the legislative elections,[10] some of the party members called for the resignation of the party chairman Haim Oron and to give way for Zehava Gal-On. Haim Oron indeed left the Knesset on 23 March 2011[11] and later left the chairmanship of the party. As a result MKs Zehava Gal-On, Ilan Gilon, and youth activist Ori Ophir began campaigning to win the position of the party chairman.[12] The primaries were held on 7 February 2012 for the position of the party's chairman.[13] Zahava Gal-On was elected as the chairman with 60.6% of the votes. Ilan Gilon was second with 36.6% of the votes, and Uri Ofir was third with 2.8% of the votes.
Meretz defines itself as a Zionist, left-wing, social-democratic party.[citation needed] The party is a member of the Socialist International[14] and an observer member of the Party of European Socialists.[15] It sees itself as the political representative of the Israeli Peace movement in the Knesset – as well as municipal councils and other local political bodies.
In the international media it has been described as left-wing, social-democratic, dovish, secular, civil libertarian, and anti-occupation.[16][17][18][19][20][21]
The party emphasises the following principles (not necessarily in order of importance):
- Peace between Israel and the Palestinians based on a two-state solution as laid out in the Geneva Accord.
- Dismantling most of the Israeli settlements in the West Bank.
- Human rights issues:
- Struggle for the protection of human rights in the Israeli-occupied territories.
- Rights of minorities in Israel (such as Israeli Arabs and foreign workers), fight against discrimination, and support for affirmative action.
- Women's rights and feminism.
- LGBT rights.
- Struggle for social justice:
- Making Israel a social-democratic welfare state.
- Protecting workers' rights and fighting against their exploitation (especially, though not exclusively, in the case of foreign workers and immigrants).
- Separation of religion and state, and religious freedom.
- Liberal secular education.
- Israel's security.
- Environmentalism.

Meretz supporters abroad[edit]
A number of left-wing Zionist organizations that share many of the ideas of Meretz are affiliated with the Israel-based World Union of Meretz; this includes the London-based Meretz UK and France's Cercle Bernard Lazare. The World Union of Meretz has representation in a number of organizations, such as the World Zionist Organization and the Jewish National Fund. Meretz USA is now Partners for Progressive Israel.[22]
Hashomer Hatzair, a progressive Zionist youth movement with branches in many countries, is informally associated with Meretz through its historic connection with Mapam.
Partners for Progressive Israel, which is affiliated with Meretz, used to be known as "Meretz USA," and is still formally associated with the World Union of Meretz.[23]

So it's always exciting when KoRn start work on a new album! So I thought I would layout everything we know so far and as more details are revealed I will keep the post updated.
Album Title: TBA
Release Date: July 2013
Producer: Don Gilmore
Label: Prospect Park
Track List: TBA
Information Regarding the Album:
Davis says "we're getting ready to start writing a new record" and predicts that it probably won't embrace the same electronic path that "…Totality" did. "Our motto is to keep ever-evolving," Davis says. "I'm sure there'll still be some electronic influence in there, but I don't think it'll be like the last one and go to all those different guys again. We'll switch it up and try to do something new, 'cause that's how we work
The new music is inspired by our Issues album, or even Untouchables, that era. It's a little more melodic and a little more aggressive at the same time
I think once Jonathan puts vocals on it, it has…it's more melodic and the guitars are more aggressive and much more in your face. I think what we did before was bold and took a lot of balls, in regards to the album devoted entirely to dubstep. To me it's very much a Korn album, but I want to feature more guitar on this album, on the one were writing right now, we still have one foot in the electronic [style], not necessarily the dubstep [sound], and we still have a fresh approach on the guitar riffs with some melodic vocals. Jonathan is great at sort of delivering the aggressive lyrics and vocals.
I wouldn't say it's a 180 from the last album, but we're definitely taking a different approach. We're not going with the dubstep style, but we are using a lot of interesting recording techniques.
Right now, I will tell you this … we've done something we've never done before. Normally if we do a new Korn record, we'll normally put 12 or 13 songs and that's how many we make. This time we've made 20-plus songs, and we'll put the best of what we have on there, whatever the numbers end up being. We have so many to choose from, I think it's going to be a little extra special this time
Other Information:
-Revolver Magazine and Artist Direct have bothed named KoRn's new album as Most Anticipated of 2013.
Revolver Magazine:
It may have seemed like the band members' side projects were ringing in the end of Korn, with vocalist Jonathan Davis spending a lot of time on his electronic work and guitarist James "Munky" Shaffer focusing on Fear and the Nervous System. However, when Revolver spoke with Munky last year, he said Korn had 15 new songs already and was looking for a producer, adding, "We have a big 2013 planned for our fans, for ourselves, and our families."
Artist Direct:
Korn's tenth studio album, The Path of Totality, was in no uncertain terms a "game-changer." It featured cutting edge production from the likes of Skrillex, 12th Planet, Noisia, and more of EDM's hottest artists, and was widely hailed by critics and fans alike as Korn's best album in years. In 2013, expect the follow-up from metal's most innovative artists to deliver.
There are game changers and then there's Korn.
These are the men who gave us Korn, Life is Peachy, Follow the Leader, and last year's The Path of Totality. Every one of those records altered the course of heavy music, and that's why they cultivated one of the most diehard audiences in history. That brings us to their highly (understatement) anticipated eleventh studio effort.
Coming off The Path of Totality, the guys are emphasizing a return to the guttural guitar driven apocalyptic funk of their classic efforts, while still paving a new path. Whatever they do, it's bound to break ground and shake up music as a whole.
Are you ready to follow the leaders once more?
-It appears Sluggo will be helping with the editing process of the album. He has posted many pictures of him in the KoRn studio on his instagram and has many post's on his Facebook aswell.
-On January 26 Betatraxx posted on Facebook, "Messed around on a new track with Korn yesterday. Sickest studio ever…. Felt like i was in a giant Guitar Center designed by Tim Burton." He later stated, "It sounds like the past and the future at the same time."
-Head confirmed on Febuary 26 on KJXJ Rock 103.9 that he WILL NOT be on the new KoRn album unfortunately.
Official Social Media Pages:
-Be sure and follow these pages because lots of pictures and information are posted daily regarding the new KoRn album.

Does anyone know why they changed to Prospect Park?
Re: NEW KORN ALBUM DETAILS!
Does anyone know why they changed to Prospect Park?
Because their contract was up for Roadrunner. Also I believe JD stated awhile ago the band were dissapointed by Roadrunner due to their lack of promoting the band.

Mulino Marino Fine Yellow Corn Meal - 1kg
Country of Origin: Italy
Region: Piedmont
City / Village: Cossano Belbo
The fine grind of this corn meal makes a more uniform polenta without the crunch of the coarse meal. It still has the deep corn flavor that you will be surprised by if you are used to other corn meal. Use this to make the traditional Italian polenta. It can be prepared in as little as 45 minutes but traditionalists will tell you that the best flavor comes from very slow cooking and constant stirring for 90 minutes (open fire and copper pot don't hurt either!). Use 200 g. of corn meal per liter of water. Serve soft with butter and grated Parmigiano Reggiano, or grilled after setting.

PSG built for Europe, just about…
Paris Saint-Germain may have qualified for the quarter finals of the Champions League thanks to a 1-1 draw with Valencia at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday, but they needed a helping hand from one of their 'smaller' stars to secure the 3-2 aggregate victory. Kevin Gameiro, so often overlooked since the arrival of Carlo Ancelotti, served a timely reminder of his ability by coming off the substitutes' bench to assist Ezequiel Lavezzi's bundled 66th minute equaliser.
- Ledwith: Valencia dominate but lack second goal
- Ancelotti plays down UCL hopes
The Argentine was the hero but there can be no doubt that it was Gameiro's introduction in place of the returning Thiago Motta that lifted PSG enough to rally for an equaliser after falling behind to a superb strike from Brazilian striker Jonas. Before that the hosts had looked insipid and far too unimaginative, a shadow of the team "built for Europe" as Sporting Director Leonardo had boldly claimed four days before. That they deserved the result over the two legs is arguably true, but the manner in which they secured the progress was disappointing.
Part of the reason for such an uninspiring performance was the line-up. Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Marco Verratti were out suspended, and with the withdrawal of Jeremy Menez through injury on the eve of the match Ancelotti was forced into a re-think. With only Lavezzi and Gameiro as recognised strikers, he surprisingly opted to leave the Frenchman out once more, preferring Lavezzi as partner to Lucas Moura with Javier Pastore on the left and Clement Chantome on the right.
The selection of Chantome out wide in a starting berth was particularly surprising given his differing levels of success, poor away to Sochaux and improved when brought on against Marseille at home in the league. Motta's inclusion from the start to partner Blaise Matuidi, whilst hardly surprising given the Italian's return to fitness, left the midfield rich in industry, but low in creativity. The decision was designed to utilise Moura's pace through the middle instead of out wide against a makeshift centre-back pairing of Jeremy Mathieu and Victor Ruiz.
The selection of Alex over Mamadou Sakho at the back was less of a shock, more of a disappointment perhaps. Admittedly Sakho has only recently recovered from minor injury (despite the fact that he came through back-to-back games against Marseile and Reims), but his omission once more with Thiago Silva back in the side after a lengthy lay-off is concerning given how well he has played this so far this season. Alex didn't look out of place against los Che, though he did fail to close down Jonas effectively for the opener, but Sakho and Silva just seem a better pairing overall with the former a better option beyond this season.
With the defence toiling and the midfield ineffectual, Ancelotti took a risk by throwing Gameiro on, and this time it paid off. Though the 25-year-old will likely have been disappointed about missing out on a starting berth once more, he didn't show it, knuckling down and adding the direct threat that only Moura and Lavezzi looked capable of offering on occasion. The French international was brought on to replace Motta shorty after Jonas' wonder-strike and made the most of his opportunity, contributing to the build-up for Lavezzi's fortuitous equaliser.
That move to bring Gameiro on for Motta had signalled what eventually was confirmed by the late introduction of Sakho in place of Moura. That there was no room for David Beckham in this team, in this sort of match. Whilst the Englishman has been impressive since arriving at the club, thanks largely to the low expectations many had of his acquisition; it was a stark contrast to the league game against Marseille a fortnight ago when Ancelotti brought him on at the pivotal moment. This time he ignored that temptation when the stakes were highest, and went with what his brain told him was the more sensible option. He was proved right and in doing so, illustrated that Beckham's likely role will not be one of a first-team regular.
The display also proved one more key point that has been brushed over since the arrival of Moura. PSG still need Ibrahimovic. Despite the rumours linking them with Wayne Rooney, despite the criticisms of his on and off performances, there is no doubt that without him, PSG are a totally different side. With him, the team has a focal point, they have somebody to orchestrate the play and without him, the game does not flow and the team struggle to impose themselves. His suspension for the first leg of the quarter final could prove hugely costly if it results in another lacklustre performance like this one.
That said though, at the end of the day PSG deserved the victory on the balance of the two legs, that can't be disputed. Though Valencia were the better side on the night, Ancelotti's men did just enough to prove that they warrant this current European run, but their relative inexperience in Europe's top club competition showed against Valencia's seasoned and highly French-infused squad. A glamour tie in the next round would be superb for the club and will provide them the necessary chance to garner that experience.

Don't Just Hire A Sales Team — Build It!
By Ken Thoreson, president, Acumen Management Group LTD
This is an excerpt from my latest book: Your Sales Management Guru's Guide to: "Leading High Performance Sales Teams")
Recently, in speaking to two prospective clients, I heard the same complaint that I hear over and over from sales executives: "My turnover rate is huge." They're not alone in their concerns. Consider these facts:
- In one Manpower Inc. survey of nearly 33,000 employers, U.S. and Canadian respondents both ranked "sales representative" as the most difficult job to fill.
- Nearly 25% of nearly 2,200 sales executives surveyed in another study reported turnover had increased during the previous year. Hiring the right talent is critical in building successful sales teams. Studies show that, if you bring in the wrong salesperson, you lose up to four times the cost of that person's annual salary and benefits in missed opportunities, management time, and fees. (If you're experiencing turnover, you may find Acumen's book Hiring a High-Performance Sales Team a valuable resource.)

GMOs, Free Trade and the WTO
The US government is engaged in a legal dispute aimed at forcing the EU and the rest of the world to lift restrictions on GM food and farming.
gmo trade war
To force GMO products into global markets, George Bush has filed a legal dispute at the WTO, accusing the European Union of blocking trade by restricting GMOs. If successful, not only will the EU have to accept genetically modified food and farming but so will the rest of the world.

Pizza >Mama Santa Restaurant Pizzeria
12305 Mayfield Rd, Cleveland, OH | Directions 4410641.508714 -81.597242
Mon - Thur, 11am - 10pm; Fri, Sat, 11am - 11pm; Sun, closed
Neighborhoods: University
Old World Style – Mama Santa is the kind of place you imagine would be in a small village in Italy. Their homemade pasta is just that, homemade, at lunch you can hear them cutting it in the kitchen. Recommend their Cavatelli, Meatballs and Antipasta Salad.
Really good pizza – I think the pizza here is great. I'm not the kind of person that craves italian food all the time, but there are times when all I want is a slice of pizza...ok maybe two slices of pizza. Inevitably I end up getting pizza here. I can't give them 5 stars since I haven't tried any of the other menu items, but maybe I will in the future.
Mediocre at best – I drove from North Ridgeville because of all the accolades of Mama Santa's pizza. I was disappointed. The pizza crust was a bit dry, the toppings were fairly sparce and not even close to fresh...had to be canned/dehydrated/frozen. I left with a taste of Lipton's Onion Soup Mix in my mouth! After 2 pies, 2 Pepsi's, 2 beers, the total was $50.05 and I could of got better from Georgios, 2 12packs of Pepsi, and a 12 of adult suds for the same price and not had to squeeze my (already small) car into a door ding mill of a parking place or pay a tip.
That being said, the wait staff was top notch and attentive. Kudos waitstaff!
I'd pass on Mama Santa's....IMHO!
Seek a Better Cleveland Pizza – On faithful insistence of friends who are Mama Santa?s fans, I gave Mama Santa?s pizza three separate tries. Unfortunately, three strikes.
As an enthusiast who has tried thin crust pizza at over 100 purveyors (NO chains, please) in numerous states, I found Mama Santa?s pizza experience lacking in several key elements. First, their crust, sauce and cheese just lay limp and sloppy without integration to blend flavors. Second, the sauce is deficient of pleasing subtle spices, failing to entice my palate to the next bite. Third, the decor is badly dated, but no so as to be delightfully kitschy, just bad. Lastly, the service is, at best, adequate, absent of personality or charm that would draw me back. All this in an otherwise wonderful Italian area of Cleveland!
On a personal note to reviewer DeathDealer9: For a restaurant review site to develop and sustain credibility, it must include all critiques, even those that disagree with our own tastes and experiences. To do otherwise would be disingenuous. Similarly, to maintain integrity, the review site must reject obviously biased puff praise from insiders and false damnation from competitors.
May Mama Santa?s fans continue to enjoy what they have come to prize. As for me, I will continue to seek a better Cleveland pizza.
rocking – where else can you go and get a great pizza, a bottle of wine and 2 salads for $22 bucks! Always great food!
nice place for couples – it is a nice place to spend time as a couple. nothing in particular, but we enjoyed it.
if you livein the area, you do not need to search further
For All the Haters – First off you Haters, Shut The F*** up. I've had the pizza many times there, and I Know its some of the best around. Key word there is Some; and by many i mean more then 50. Sorry to be so openly mouthy but seriously, all you supposed "pizza connoisseur's" give me a break; Just try and tell me that some of your favorite pizza you've had only once in your life. Not Gonna Happen. You have to have it more then once if not just to make sure. Point being, Try it again, Then again, a good judge takes in more then one perspective. As for service, in any place of business one should know that not every single server is going to be bright and jolly; and time frame, well if your there on a Friday Or Saturday, I'd like to see you serve people faster then them. Going back to you pizza connoisseur's just shut up pizza is pizza and not eveyone has your taste in it so don't try to speak for everyone, and stop f***ing posting that s*** like your some hot shot know it all.
My husband I drove from Mayfield Heights to Little Italy (about 8 miles) to sample the supposedly best pizza in Cleveland. What a disappointment! I wish I would have read the above reviews before we set out for the evening. The crust was thin with a very bland flavor, a little dry. There was VERY little pizza sauceon it, so it lacked any flavor there. I ordered mushroom and green pepper toppings for 1.25 each. The mushrooms were canned and there were very few pieces of green pepper on it. The cheese they use is obviously a very cheap kind because as I am sitting here typing this, I have terrible gas from it! Our dinner was $36 (before tip) and consisted of 2 dinner salads (iceberg lettuce with shavings of carrot, 2 very small pitted black olives, 1/2 very small cherry tomato and bland italian dressing), medium pizza w/2 toppings (as above), mushroom fettucine (again, canned mushrooms), 1 glass of chianti ($6 and was good) and 1 glass of water. My husband enjoyed his fettucine dish dispite the canned mushrooms. Overall, it was not worth the drive for very mediocre food. We won't be back unless they revamp the food quality.
Nothing Special – My sister came to visit one weekend and we decided we wanted really good pizza, and I had seen that Mama Santa's was always mentioned when people taked about great pizza in Cleveland, so we decided to try it. The crust was really good, super crispy, but the overall taste was just ok. Maybe the pasta is better (seemed to see more people eating it), but our food wasn't anything great. It was the some of the greasiest pizza I've ever seen, but that didn't seem to affect the taste for better or worse. The other big thing that bothered us was that they only give you one free refill on soft drinks, which are served in really little glasses. I don't drink a lot of pop normally, but I really like it with pizza, so I wasn't really a fan of that policy. Our waitress was really friendly, but the our impression of the service overall at the restaurant wasn't that great. We decided next time we'd just go to Donatos.

WEBINAR: Let's Talk: Efficient Communication for PHP and Android
February 28, 2013 - February 28, 20139:00am PST, 12:00pm EST, 5:00pm GMT, 6:00pm CET
The mobile space has exploded in the last several years, prompting the realization that service-oriented architecture is a great way to implement business logic for consumption by both web and mobile applications for optimal long-term scalability. While mobile devices have evolved dramatically, their increased availability to consumers has added strain to networks and service providers are still struggling to make capacity meet demand. To keep hardware costs down, developers must now pinch bytes of bandwidth as they did with memory back in the earlier days of computing. This presentation will review the process of building a PHP-based REST web service to be consumed by a native Android application. Some of the general concepts it presents are also applicable to other mobile platforms such as iOS. It focuses mainly on handling data serialization and compression in both environments.
Presenter: Matthew Turland

I shoot on lunch 3-5 days a week
normally about 100-200 depending on caliber and how many guns I bring
25 or lower
200 or higher
as much as you can
Usually 200.
100 through my .40 glock, and the other 100 through a combination of my .22 phoenix, .380 bersa, and .38 ultralite taurus.
I shoot on lunch 3-5 days a week
normally about 100-200 depending on caliber and how many guns I bring
It'll depend what I'm shooting that day. I will usually always have 2-3 with me and how I'm feeling that day. I have a pretty messed up back and some days I can't shoot a lot. Other days I can shoot for a good long while. I try to take my time and make a day of it. I'm pretty lucky and am able to shoot here at home. I have stuff set up anywhere from 10 yards to 200 yards. I will shoot here at least twice a week. I go to a range where a lot of L.E.O. people shoot about 1-2 times a week. Heh - It gets a little more competitive there. and we can throw a lot of lead down range on those days
I drive about 1 hour 15 minutes to a range in PA from NJ and I like to stay there a while. I usually shoot 200+ before even taking a break.
I typically run 100 to 150 round through my 1911 every other Sunday afternoon.
When I go to the range (1x week) I usually shoot two or more guns, and 80-100 rounds per gun. I shoot a variety of distances, lighting conditions, and scenarios. It can be expensive, but well worth the $$
x2 a month, maybe 3 times.
- 1911, 50 rounds
- Sig P226, 50 rounds
- SR9, 50 rounds
- Mark III, 150 to 200 rounds
New Record
The Nephew (him) And I Shot Over 2000 Rounds This Last Sunday.
"Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it." -Mark Twain
Not very much. I have 15 handguns, so I limit my number for each one.....don't want to go broke......lol. Just think, I could have just bought 1 or 2 and lots of ammo, but you know how the addiction is...
About 50-100 with my Ruger P89.
If I bring the Walther P22...lordy. More than my feeble mind can grasp.
We have a free outdoor shooting range about 20 miles from my house and the drive there is absolutely breathtaking. All in all it's such a relaxing experience and I'm very pleased I bought a gun.
Iusually shoot 100 rounds per pistol and take at least 3 pistols per trip.
That does not include rifles
I quit calculating and counting my ammo a long time ago, but it is a fact that I reload about 400 rounds a week, so I guess I shoot about 400 each week.
Dang I'm glad I reload
God bless all you wally world shoppers, I used to be one.
Well when i get a new firearm i try to put at least 300 first.
Then things set in, i shoot 100rnds then on.
It really depends,,if I'm shooting 9mm usaully 200 rounds.
45acp usually 100 rounds
Same as most people have been saying. Take a couple of them out with 100 rounds for each.
Between 200 and 400 hundred usually.
When I was younger and active in shooting, and handloading, I spent about 400 to 500 rounds a week from three different guns each week, plus often another 20 or so from one of my rifles. That is what seemed to be required to maintain an edge. Now, I spend 50 rounds at a time on two handguns. That seems to be enough for maintenance of basic skills, and does not make my damaged hands hurt too much later.
About a entire value pack for my 10/22 (550 rounds)
I'll easily run through 200 rounds of .22 when shooting my P22. I can shoot it all day long, really. I try to put as many rounds through that as possible, since it's cheaper to shoot and less stressful on my hand. I really enjoy shooting, and I enjoy being more accurate...especially since my dad likes to talk shit about how well he shoots
When I get my XD I'll probably put a box through it when I'm at the range. No real need to do anymore.
Right now it can be anywhere from 200-400 rounds per trip (just in the pistols), but ammo is free. (well, someone is paying the bill... so thanks!) As I type this, I can hear people shooting on the range we have here on our compound and I'm thinking I'll probably do a little "zero verification" fire this evening.
When I'm home, I'd guess somewhere around 100-200 rds per session for most of my handguns. I have a 6-stage reloading press that cranks out a couple hundred rounds an hour if I am bored enough to sit there and pull the handle that many times. I have dies for .45acp, .40s&w, and 9mm, so I fire those most of the time. I need to get one for .357mag as well, since I am shooting one of those frequently as well. The "trip" to the range for me is about 25 steps out my back door, so we shoot quite often. (2-3 times per week) Ammo isn't as cheap as it used to be (nothing is I guess), even when ordered in bulk. I keep my "plinking" loads to a fairly low velocity (equivalent to what I'd buy at the store for FMJ, so I can get 2-3 reloads out of the brass. Buy IMR and Hog. powder in bulk as well as FMJ bullets, so I can keep the cost per round pretty low. I am stuck ordering .22lr for my rimfires those, since that is non-reloadable... and I can't even guess how many (thousands) of those I go through a month.
Depends on how fast they drive the ball picker.
About 200 once or twice a week. 308 223 45 9mm 22 357. Mostly 45.
around 200

Title III Grant
In 2008, Bristol Community College was awarded a 5-year Title III grant from the Department of Education. Title III grants are awarded to provide assistance to institutions demonstrating a constructive effort to strengthen themselves.
BCC's Title III grant, entitled "The Connected College," began in October 2008. In an effort to increase the likelihood of successful adjustment to college, the grant focuses on connecting students with experiences of self-determination, engaged learning, and satisfying peer, faculty, and advisor relationships. The phrase "Connected College" illustrates the intention of promoting a more seamless integration of the Academic Affairs and Enrollment and Student Services areas of the College in order to help increase student success.
To achieve this vision of a Connected College, the grant focuses on two primary goals:
Goal 1: Support students in assessing, defining, and achieving their goals and building strong connections to the College community by 2013.
Goal 2: Prepare students with critical thinking skills and other general education skills they will need to thrive in a rapidly changing world by 2013.
Associate Vice President of Academic Affairs Dr. Michael J. Vieira is the Program Manager. And in order to emphasize the importance of integrating both Academic Affairs and Student Services, the grant has two Project Co-Directors: Suzanne M. Buglione, Dean, Lash Center for Teaching and Learning and Kathy Torpey Garganta, Associate Vice President of Enrollment Services & Technology. Additionally, a steering committee, an advisory board, and an Internal Evaluation Team have been assembled and hold regularly scheduled meetings. For more information, please contact Mike Vieira.

SOURCE Northco Real Estate Services, LLC
MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Frank Jermusek, President of Northco Real Estate Services, LLC, a leading Midwest based full service commercial real estate firm, announced the expansion of its golf & hospitality division – Northco Golf & Hospitality, LLC. Northco Real Estate Services was originally founded in 1975 and formed a team to specialize in the golf and hospitality industry in 2008. Northco Golf & Hospitality has worked on over 150 golf and hospitality projects in the last 6 years mainly focusing in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Frank Jermusek says that, "We have been asked to expand our geographical reach and plan to start working on additional projects in Iowa, Michigan and Illinois. We also continue to grow our service lines within the industry. We have historically focused on buy & sell brokerage, consulting, and management. We plan to expand our capabilities in those areas as well as add investment, property tax appeals and legal services to the mix."
Frank Jermusek says that, "Sale / acquisition activity has definitely picked up in the last year.

Valpo Men Eighth after Day 1 at Bowling Green
Related Links
Monday, September 27, 2010
Valparaiso carded rounds of 302 and 299 on a crisp and breezy Monday to stand in eighth place following the first round of the John Piper Intercollegiate held at Stone Ridge Golf Club in Bowling Green, Ohio.
The Crusaders 601 total puts the Brown and Gold within six strokes of third heading into Tuesday's final round, as the leaderboard finished bunched together following 36 holes.
Brad Winters (Elgin, Ill./Saint Edward H.S.) got things rolling for Valpo in the opening round, starting with an eagle on his opening hole on his way to carding a one-under par 71 over the 7,064-yard par-72 layout. He was tied for second after round one. Winters shot 78 in the second round to finish tied for 17th overall, leading the way for the Crusaders.
"We definitely had some highlights today," head coach Mike Higdon said. "Brad shooting 71 and turning in our first under par round of the year was definitely one of them. He was one of four under par in that first round."
Josh Kalita (Chesterton, Ind./Chesterton H.S.) and Thomas Wettstein (Neenah, Wis./Xavier H.S.) carded rounds of 72 and 73 respectively over the second 18, battling back after scores of 79 and 84 in the opening round.
"Josh and Thomas turned it around from the two highest scores to the two lowest scores on the same day," Higdon said. "This shows our capability where any one of our guys can shoot our team's lowest round."
Austin Gaugert (Lake Geneva, Wis./Badger H.S.) shot consistent rounds of 76 for Valpo while Kyle Henning (Brookfield, Wis./East H.S.) shot 76-79 on the afternoon.
Bowling Green, the tournament host, leads the way at four-over par 580 through 36 holes with the Falcons' Drew Preston the overall leader at five-under par 139 (70-69).
"Overall we had a decent day," Higdon said. "It always could be better, but it always could be worse too. Hopefully we can move up a few spots tomorrow."
Valparaiso will wrap up tournament action on Tuesday morning with a shotgun start beginning at 7:30 a.m. CDT.

At the moment of greatest rapture in Martin Scorsese's 3-D "Hugo"—a film with many moments of happiness—a twelve-year-old Parisian boy, Hugo Cabret (Asa Butterfield), and his pal Isabelle (Chloë Grace Moretz) are leafing through a book of film history, when images from the pages start to move and then spring to full motion-picture life. The time is the nineteen-thirties, and Scorsese and his technicians are looking back to the pioneers, jumping through restored versions of films by the Lumière brothers, Edwin S. Porter, D. W. Griffith, and, most centrally, Georges Méliès, the inventor of fantasy and science fiction in the cinema. For Scorsese, the early movies are a procession of miracles: the directors realized that sixteen frames passing through a camera every second could yield illusions, disappearances, transformations, magic. In recent years, while making his own movies, Scorsese has dedicated himself to film history and preservation. He has put this ardent attention at the center of a beautifully told and emotionally satisfying story for children and their movie-loving parents. "Hugo" is both a summing up of the cinematic past and a push forward into new 3-D technologies. James Cameron's "Avatar" was a luscious purple-green spectacle—a fantasy of the natural world. "Hugo" is a fantasy of the mechanical world: much of it is devoted to the workings of a clock, a camera, an automaton, and a train station that functions like a huge machine. No other work of art has demonstrated so explicitly how gears, springs, shutters, wheels, and tracks can generate wonders.
Like many children's classics, "Hugo," based on the extraordinary novel "The Invention of Hugo Cabret" (2007), by Brian Selznick, is the story of an orphan. Hugo's father (Jude Law), a horologist, dies, and the boy inherits his passion; he runs the clocks in the Gare Montparnasse, including the two giants, one facing into the station and the other onto the street. Like the Hunchback of Notre-Dame or the Phantom of the Opera, Hugo lives a secret life in a public place—a rubbishy room up in the clockworks, where he tinkers with inventions old and new. He's a self-reliant boy, wary, inarticulate but courageous, and he knows every corner of the vast station. The terminal has its own society and permanent residents, including the station inspector (Sacha Baron Cohen), a pompous prig who rounds up boys like Hugo and sends them to an orphanage, and a cranky old man who presides in silence over a toy store—Georges Méliès (Ben Kingsley) himself, mourning his lost past. Between 1896 and 1913, Méliès made more than five hundred short films, including the lovely, antic "Voyage to the Moon," but his company went bust and the French Army seized most of the film prints, melted them down, and turned the liquid celluloid into boot heels. After that, Méliès was forgotten.
Selznick's book begins with a series of pencil drawings that feels like an introductory film sequence—establishing shots, medium shots, and closeups. Scorsese begins the same way, but in color, and instantly we get a sense of the film's characteristic look. Working with the cinematographer Robert Richardson, from a screenplay by John Logan, Scorsese shoots from the children's point of view as often as possible. He brings the third dimension into play not only in action sequences but as an enlargement of everyday life. The grownups pushing past the kids as they rush to make a train are as threatening as the Roman legions; at one point, Isabelle slips, and impatient feet trample on her. Narrow spaces and hidden places would naturally matter enormously to a furtive child, and Scorsese chases after Hugo down tunnels and along passageways and up a stairway to his room—the view up the stairway keeps telescoping in depth. Hugo is a spectator, always peering out at something, and the Paris he sees from his aerie is tinted dark blue, with glistening white lights—the colors of wonder. Parts of "Hugo"—the station, interiors of apartments—were shot on sets, but the movie depends on painted and digitized backgrounds. They are intentionally artificial, like something in a children's book, or, more to the point, like the fanciful sets that Méliès used in his movies. In a flashback, Scorsese re-creates Méliès's glass-walled studio and his films, with their exuberance of creatures, "natives" with spears, nymphs hanging from the stars—sheer exultant zaniness, part magic show, part burlesque, and all cinema.
Some of the scenes between Hugo and Isabelle are more methodical and explicit than they need be, and the pieties of a film historian (Michael Stuhlbarg) who has made reviving Méliès's movies his life's work are repetitive and cloying. But these are minor flaws. The emotional pull of the story is irresistible: the boy needs a family, the illustrious filmmaker needs to regain his past, and a love of movies brings them together. "Hugo" is superbly playful. Scorsese stages the moment in 1896 when, at least according to legend, Méliès's rivals, the Lumière brothers, showed a film of a train rushing toward the camera and sent the audience scrambling. Just the year before, a train had actually crashed through the passenger area at Gare Montparnasse and sailed out into the street. In "Hugo," the hero has a terrifying dream, perhaps an unconscious recollection of that event. Reality, filmed illusion, and dreams are so intertwined that only an artist, playing merrily with echoes, can sort them into a scheme of delight.

"When I set up my business I decided to use Beetlebrow as I liked what they did and the way they did it.
"I didn't want an off-the-shelf product – I needed a custom built site that functioned in a user friendly way and created the right impression. To achieve this, more than technical expertise is required – the designers have to interpret what a "non-techie" wants and create something from scratch.
"The service I get from Beetlebrow is excellent. They are also jolly nice chaps."

"Beetlebrow provided us with a responsive service and a first class web site. They took care of all our requests and were helpful and knowledgeable to talk to. I'd recommend them to anyone."

"The best and most original web design company I've come across. They understood my requirements and fulfilled them in every department."

I am pleased to confirm how delighted I have been with beetlebrow services.
Their design, set up and continued maintenance has been excellent and continues to bring in a good and regular response.

"Well done! I would like to thank you all for making this happen. You have been a pleasure to work with and I am delighted with the end result and I am really happy that we have made the 1 September date.

"We've found Beetlebrow professional, responsive, and incredibly creative."
"When we asked them for a design, they immediately understood our brief and came back with an idea which reflected our business perfectly."
"Sales inquiries have quadrupled since the new site went up, with many new clients commenting specifically that they came to us because they were so impressed by it."
Stephen Arkell
Managing Director
Retina Productions Ltd.
Beetlebrow understood the brief perfectly and produced exactly the web site we wanted.
Since launch, they have provided great support and make changes promptly and efficiently. I'm very pleased to be working with them.
Jeremy Balcombe
Managing Director
Springdene Care Homes Group
I selected Beetlebrow to create our website from a shortlist of 10 possible providers. I was greatly impressed with the time and attention they gave to the school pre-contract, with their most senior staff attending a meeting with the school to gain a sense of its ethos and expectations for its website.
Our demands were fairly exacting and at no point did they attempt to steer us in a direct that ultimately would have made their lives simpler.
They produced a website which has received praise from the school community and many others. It has also attracted the kind of teachers we are looking for; in that respect it hit the nail on the head.
Post publication the service provided by Beetlebrow and its individual team members, with no exceptions, has been outstanding; I use that word as an educator and in its truest and most literal sense.
We continue to enjoy a client sensitive, truly professional service. I look forward to the planned refresh of our site shortly.

'Mr. Speaker, as one who has long served on the Intelligence Committee, I understand full well the threats to our national security. I understand full well the need for us to have legislation that strikes the proper balance between liberty and security. I think this legislation does just that, and I commend Chairman Conyers, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, and the chairman of the Intelligence Committee, Chairman Reyes, for their important work and their leadership in presenting this legislation to the floor for consideration.
'The bill is important - it accomplishes the goal of striking the balance between security and liberty in the following ways: it defends Americans against terrorism and other threats; it protects Americans' civil liberties; and it restores checks and balances.
'The bill protects Americans by providing the Director of National Intelligence with the flexibility he has requested of Congress to conduct electronic surveillance of persons outside the
'It protects our civil liberties in a number of ways. The DNI has agreed that when Americans are targeted for surveillance, a warrant is required. We have now included certain criteria that the government must take into account in considering whether a warrant is required. This will help prevent inappropriate warrantless surveillance and 'reverse targeting' of Americans under the guise of foreign intelligence.
'The bill restores checks and balances. This is very important, because that is our oath of office, to protect the Constitution of the
'The legislation also makes clear that FISA makes the principle of exclusivity the principle that determines the collection of intelligence. It makes clear that FISA is the exclusive means for conducting electronic surveillance to gather foreign intelligence. The government must seek approval from a FISA court. So we're talking about the Congress of United States passing legislation as it did in the late 1970s, passing this legislation today, which is in light of the new technologies and new realities in the world, and recognizing the authority of the third branch of government, the courts.
'This legislation includes extensive reporting to Congress with respect to the interception and dissemination of communications among Americans and from Americans. This is very important because we want to minimize the use of that information and keep it for the purpose in which it is collected.
'Most significantly, the bill does not provide immunity to telecommunications companies that participated in the President's warrantless surveillance program. We cannot even consider providing immunity unless we know exactly what we are providing immunity from. And even then we have to proceed with great caution.
'It is important to note that the bill sunsets on December 31, 2009, the date the Patriot Act sunsets. So the next Administration and the next Congress can review and reassess the program.
'This legislation is supported by organizations dedicated to protecting our national security and in light of protecting our civil liberties, including the Center for National Security Studies, the Center for Democracy and Technology, and many other groups that work to protect privacy rights. The bill both protects national security and civil liberties, reaffirms our Constitutional system of checks and balances, and deserves the support of this House.
'Mr. Speaker, all of us want our President to have the best possible intelligence, our President and our policy makers. So they can do the best possible job to protect the American people. But no President, Democrat or Republican, should have the authority to have inherent authority to collect surveillance on Americans without doing so under the law.
'This legislation establishes that principle, and establishes it in a very focused way in keeping with a need for flexibility for the Director of National Intelligence, in keeping with honoring our oath of office to the Constitution.
'I urge our colleagues to support this important legislation. I for one am very proud of the work of Mr. Conyers and Mr. Reyes, and thank them for their leadership.'

But if anything this game is above average, in fact it is freaking amazing. When I saw this game at E3 I didn't even give this game a second look, I thought "Oh, a side scrolling brawler… I love those… thanks Capcom." I guess this is what happens when you go into a game with no expectations.
Joe is just that, your average Joe who loves seeing movies especially ones that star his favorite action hero Captain Blue. One day Joe is out seeing a movie with his girlfriend Sylvia when a monstrous hand reaches from out the silver screen and takes Sylvia. When things are looking bleak for Joe, the giant mech that is a signature of Captain Blue comes flying from the movie and take a dive right in front of Joe, and snatches him up as well and drops him inside the world of the movie. Of course the most pressing matter is to find Sylvia, and with a few lessons from Captain Blue, Joe is able to transform with the catch phrase "Henshin a go-go baby!" into the super hero Viewtiful Joe.
As Viewtiful Joe there are a number of special abilities you acquire throughout the course of the game. You gain common movie technique abilities, like the ability to slow down time, or speed it up. You also gain the ability to zoom in on Joe as he poses in a manner that will strike fear into the hearts of weaker enemies and will cause him to do massive damage to them. You are also given more moves in your quest to be "Viewtiful," you can gain a move that will allow you to take half the damage when getting hit by an exceptionally strong blow, or you've got another move where upon dodging an enemy's attack while in slow motion you can zoon in and strike a pose that will damage all nearby enemies, that'll teach 'em to mess with a super hero.
Of course the abilities you are given aren't just used for attack purposes, no no no, see this is where the genius gameplay design takes a step up and shows us what old school and new school gaming combined can achieve. Sure this may be a simple side-scroller on the surface but once you start playing the game you realize that the attention here was given to what can be accomplished in the game. Take the abilities to speed up time for instance, say you've got a door that is open and you've only got a limited time to reach it, well in this case you'd cover a lot of ground by using the ability to make it before the door closes. Or another example is when you've got platforms that are on propellers but will only go so high, in this case you would speed up time to make the propeller rotate faster and take you to a higher area of the map, perhaps finding some bonus points or extra lives in the process or in the reverse role say the platform is too high, then you would slow down time to get the propeller to not spin very fast and then would fall to the ground.
Of course these abilities are limited in use thanks to what is called the VFX bar, as you use your abilities this bar will drain but collecting V film cans through the stage can increase it. Whenever you are not using an ability, however it will recharge, and can be recharged quicker with an item purchased with V-Points. V-Points are gained from combo attacks and by defeating enemies and as you complete areas you can purchase items, more lives, a Take 2 item that will refill your life should you die, or even an item that will double the recovery rate of your VFX meter.

Bandanna Covered Journal
Turn a composition notebook into a fashion statement with a bandana and start a whole new fashion trend at school.
Composition Notebook or any Cardboard Covered Book (Plastic Will Not Work)
Print Bandana
Fabric Glue or Tacky Glue or Low Temp Glue Gun
Liquid Starch
Rhinestones and Jewel-It and Toothpick
Assorted Lace and Rick Rack
Disposable Bowl or Large Zip-Lock Bag
Wax Paper
Note: Bandana will not be totally opaque. Notebook will show through a bit.
Lay out bandana with the right side down. Open up the composition book and place it face down on top of it. Draw a line around the book. Remove the book and cut your fabric approximately 1" bigger than the line you drew.
Pour about 1 cup of Linit Liquid Starch into a disposable bowl or large zip lock bag. Ball up the bandana and place it in the starch. Make sure fabric is completely saturated. Wring out some of the liquid but leave the fabric fairly wet. Smooth the fabric out, right side down, on wax paper.
Open up the composition notebook and place it, face up, on the bandana. It will stick to the book. Close it, smoothing out the fabric. Let it dry overnight. Cover may warp a little but should flatten when dry. If not, place a few books on top until it is flat again.
Glue lace all around the edge of the book. Glue rick rack on the middle to decorate. Glue on rhinestones using a toothpick to dab glue in place.
